Tracy Morgan has left the hospital and is rehabbing his injuries from a June 7 car crash at an undisclosed facility.

"Tracy has been transferred to an undisclosed rehab center, where he is expected to remain for the next few weeks," his rep told E! News Friday. "While he is continuing to show signs of improvement, he still has a long way to go. He and Megan (his fiance) wanted to publicly express their deepest gratitude to everyone at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital for the unbelievable care and attention they provided him."

The 45-year-old former 'Saturday Night Live" comedian suffered broken ribs, a broken leg and internal injuries in a crash on the New Jersey Turnpike. The crash killed Morgan's friend, collaborator and fellow comedian James McNair, and seriously injured two other people.

Truck driver Kevin Roper was allegedly going 65 mph in a 45-mph zone just before the crash, according to a National Transportation Safety Board report released Thursday. Officials have also said Roper was awake for at least 24 hours before the crash.

Roper, 35, has pleaded not guilty to death by auto and assault by auto charges and is out on bail.
